In this episode, we’re joined by two of the most beloved figures in Israeli pop culture — Maya and Yehuda Devir, the husband-and-wife illustrator duo behind One of Those Days, the wildly popular comic series that captures the ups, downs, and hilarity of everyday life.

With over 9 million devoted followers around the world, Maya and Yehuda are the most-followed Israeli creators after Gal Gadot — turning the ordinary into art and the personal into something profoundly universal. What began as a playful chronicle of their relationship has grown into a global brand built on humor, vulnerability, and razor-sharp creativity.

In this episode, we talk about raising a family in the public eye, keeping it real when millions are watching, and how their honest, beautifully exaggerated cartoons turned small moments into a massive movement.
